10' Cable: High Data Transfer, Slow Charge Speed
As other reviews say, the physical quality of the cable and connectors is very nice. I purchased the 10-foot version of this USB 3.2 cable to use Oculus Link with my Quest 2 right around the time that they started adding the Air Link experimental feature. I haven't done a direct comparison of the (wired) Oculus Link and (wireless) Air Link connections because I'm having PC issues, but I have done some in-depth comparisons between this cable and other USB C cables.I tested three different USB A to USB C cables, this 10-foot KRX cable, a 6-foot Anker cable, and a cheap 3-foot no-name that I bought at a drug store several years ago, when USB C cables were still very pricey in most stores. For each cable I tested data transfer rate by copying a 638MB ISO file to my Moto Z3 phone, then my Quest 2 three separate times using the same exact process to minimize differences in clicking. Once I had the transfer times, I divided the file size by the number of seconds to find the average data transfer rate for the file copy, in megabytes per second (MBps).I also tested each cable's charging rate through my laptop's USB 3 fast-charging docking port, using the Ampere app on my phone to obtain the low and high amperage with my battery starting near 50% to ensure that the charge rate wasn't affected by the phone's circuitry slowing the current as the battery neared a full charge. For each charging test, I waited three full minutes to ensure that the charging rate was stable; in each case, the charging rate stayed close to bout 90% of the highest number after about 60 seconds. The app displays the minimum and maximum charge rate in milliamps (mA).Here are the results of each test:1. 10-foot KRX cable (on this page): Copy to Moto Z3: 71.20 - 76.13 MBps (74.25 MBps average) Copy to Quest 2: 186.55 - 196.91 MBps (192.46 MBps average) Charging: 480 - 800 mA (640 mA average)2. 6-foot Anker cable (also from Amazon): Copy to Moto Z3: 22.93 - 23.33 MBps (23.13 MBps average) Copy to Quest 2: 33.56 - 34.21 MBps (33.89 MBps average) Charging: 840 - 1320 mA (1080 mA average)3. 3-foot no-name cable: Copy to Moto Z3: 22.90 - 23.22 MBps (23.06 MBps average) Copy to Quest 2: 33.92 - 34.81 MBps (34.37 MBps average) Charging: 970 - 1330 mA (1150 mA average)I don't normally do this level of testing with USB cables, but I noticed that this 10-foot KRX cable seemed to be taking a long time to charge my phone. So I swapped to my no-name cable that I've been able to get reliable charging speeds from for a long time and noticed a big difference, which prompted this testing.As the numbers show, this KRX cable is GREAT at transferring large files into fast flash storage (and clearly the Quest 2 has *much* faster storage than my relatively old phone!), but it's also very slow at charging. The no-name cable was sold as a charging cable, so it's actually pretty surprising that it transfers data nearly as fast as the much more expensive and much higher quality Anker cable, but the biggest surprise is how much it also beats the Anker AND this KRX cable at charging!Based on other reviews, it's very possible that I got one that has a charging issue for some reason, but Amazon doesn't give me any kind of return option at this point. Hopefully the seller will respond to this review with an offer to exchange the cable for another one since the listing specifically calls out lists one of its features as "Fast Charging: The 3A current allows you to charge quickly."

Fast & Strong Connection for Alot Less Than Oculus Brand Cable
I recently purchased an Oculus Quest 2, and the provided cable was USB-C to USB-C which was not supported on my desktop. I purchased this item because it was USB-C to USB-A which was supported. Additionally it was very long and accomodating. Connection to my computer was fast, easy, and seamless. I'm able to play on my Quest from the other side of the room because of just how long the cable is. Would recommend it to anyone, and it is much cheaper than the cable Oculus wants you to buy for 100$

Awesome cable for photos!
I bought this cable so that I could easily take photos and have them directly imported into my computer as they’re taken. This cable does just that and I’m very happy with my purchase!
